All Boy Mini Album with Valerie Stangle

Good morning.  Welcome to day 1 with guest designer Valerie Stangle.  We are always so excited to have Valerie join us.  Valerie does some amazing masculine project which you will see today.

Here's Val:

Little did I know when this set, All Boy (SW-04520), arrived on my doorstep, that it was going to be the perfect set for so many projects for my soon-to-be grandson.  I knew I wanted to make a mini album/brag book using many of the fun elements of this fabulous set to celebrate this wonderful occasion!

The cover of the book uses the wonderful car silhouette, stamped in rhubarb,  and 2 sentiments from the set.  The Dickens quote is stamped in peanut brittle ink with teal and rhubarb accents. “It’s A Boy!” is stamped in brown ink on a mustard “tab.” Fun colors, patterned papers, die cuts, ribbon and dimension accent the stamped elements on the cover.

The inside cover has the sailboat from the set stamped in peanut brittle with multi-colored sails popped up with dimensional foam.  The chevron pattern stamped in aqua from Pattern Basics (SW-04585) simulates the waves of the ocean. The first blank picture page is simply stamped with a two-toned sentiment from All Boy and a patterned paper strip, embellished with a stapled tab die cut.

Center pages, awaiting future pictures, use two of the border elements, the dotted border and the stitched argyle, from Pattern Basics as well as two more of the super fun sentiments from All Boy. Stapled ribbon embellishments accent each die cut sentiment.

Finally, the back page and back cover are stamped with even more fun sentiments and a cute tugboat image from All Boy riding on chevron “waves.” 

I’m excited to fill this little album with baby pictures and haven’t decided if it will be Gramma’s brag book or a gift for my son.  Decisions, decisions!

Day Three with Guest Designer Robin Parker

 Good morning.  Welcome to the final day with Guest Designer Robin Parker.  I hope you have enjoyed Robin's projects as much as we have.  Huge thanks to Robin for sharing her talent with us this week.

Here's Robin:

Thank You Angela and Kellie for another fabulous time creating with JustRite Papercraft products!  For my final creation, I chose to make a Monogram Candle Set!

I purchased three six inch cream candles and gold tray from Michael’s.  I created the monograms by using the outer frame from “Mr. & Mrs. Vintage Labels Four” and the inner frame and letter from “Graceful Monogram”.  I stamped the outer frame first onto tissue paper with Staz-On black ink.  Next I stamped the inner frame and letter into the center of my larger frame with Staz-On black ink.  I then carefully cut out the image.  I laid the candle on its side, laid the cut out frame onto the candle.   I wrapped a piece of wax paper around the candle and image and pulled tightly.  Next, I held the candle with wax paper in one hand and used a heat gun to adhere the framed monogram to the candle.  Use enough heat to make your image shine.  Let candle cool completely, then gently pull wax paper away from candle.  Do this process two more times with different letters.  For the gold tray I added black and clear rhinestones with glue to give a more decorative look.  Place the three candles in the center of tray and add whatever color rocks you wish.  My final touches are gold pearls glued to the frames on each candle.

 Thank you so much, I hope you have enjoyed my creations and hopefully inspire you to do my projects. 

Project Recipe:

Stamps: Graceful Monogram and Mr. & Mrs. Vintage Labels Four

Ink: Staz-On Black

Paper: Tissue and Wax

Accessories: Candles, Tray, Rocks, Recollection Black/Clear Rhinestones and Gold Pearls, Beacon 3-IN-1 Advance Adhesive and Heat Gun

 Good morning.  Welcome to Day Three with Guest Designer Kristi Schurr.  We would like to say a huge thank you to Kristi for guest designing this week.  Her projects have been amazing!!  To check out more of Kristi's work you can visit her blog - Kristi's Paper Creations.

Welcome to my final day as guest designer for JustRite Stamps. It has been a thrill to show you how versatile and wonderful JustRite Stamps are. I would like to thank everyone at JustRite for this wonderful opportunity to create with their wonderful products!

My last project is all about the graduate! It’s almost that time of year as the school year winds down. JustRite’s new set, Celebration Labels One and Bracket One, has many options for projects with the graduate in mind.

I made a card and a matching gift bag. The layout is pretty much the same on both, so you can make the card and bag in tandem and mix the sentiments around to your liking.

Here’s how I made the card:

Step 1- Die cut a card base from gold card stock using Spellbinders Labels One die set.

Step 2-Die cut a label out of black card stock using Spellbinders Decorative Labels One. Adhere to card base with foam tape.

Step 3- Die cut label from white card stock using Spellbinders Labels One die set. Emboss and adhere to center of card.

Step 4- Using label stamp from Celebration Labels One and   Bracket One, stamp once on vellum and once on white card stock. Emboss both in gold. Stamp sentiment in center of label stamped on white card stock. Emboss in black. Diecut vellum piece with Spellbinders Label One dies and die cut ONLY center part of the white card stock label with a Spellbinders Standard Circles die.

Step 5- Layer both pieces as shown and adhere to card with foam tape. Add mortar board hat sticker, diploma sticker and star as shown.

For the bag, I layered some black scroll paper over gold card stock and adhered to the bag front. I cut the largest die in the Spellbinders Decorative Labels One set from gold card stock and placed in the middle of the bag front.

I used both label stamps from the Celebration Labels One and   Bracket One set stamping both onto white card stock and embossing both in black.  I embossed the sentiment in gold and die cut it using the matching die from the Antique Tags One custom die set, adhering to the center. I stamped and die cut a border for the bottom edge of the bag using a border stamp from the Celebration Labels One and   Bracket One stamp set. I then die cut it with an A2 Bracket Borders One die.  I wrapped a black satin ribbon around it to conceal the joint and added a gold star to the center of the bow. I randomly added a few gold sequins to the front for a little sparkle.

 Supply List:
JustRite Stamp Set- Celebration Labels One and Bracket One
JustRite Custom Dies- Antique Tags One

Day Two with Guest Designer Holly Simoni

Good morning - welcome to Day Two with Guest Designer Holly Simoni.  Today Holly has a stunning Silhouette Bracelet to share with us.  Be sure to check out Holly's blog - Wild Wyoming Art Cafe' -for more mixed media inspiration.

Here's Holly:

Today I have created a Silhouette Bracelet to share with you. It turned into one of my favorite projects. I've used the fabulous JustRite Stamps Graceful Monogram set for this project. The silhouette stamp fits perfectly inside the Spellbinders hobnail circles bezel.

 

I purchased a pre-made crochet bracelet from a craft store, then added stamping, ribbon, bling and resin.

 

 I decided I wanted to give the silhouette stamp a deep glossy black finish. So I stamped the silhouette with Versamark ink and poured black fine detail embossing powder over the ink, then heat embossed. The glossy embossed silhouette is stunning! I then used my Spellbinders Artisan Explorer die cutting machine to cut out image. I used the circles one die template that perfectly matches the hobnail circle bezel. Using a little piece of tape to secure the die template, helps to keep it in the perfect place around the stamped image. I also used a permanent solvent ink to stamp the beautiful swirls onto the blue ribbon.

 

The stamped ribbon was adhered with double sided permanent tape and a few rhinestones were added. I adhered the silhouette image to the bezel with glossy accents and applied a thin coat of matte finish glossy accents to the stamped image. I layered rhinestone chain inside the bezel, and around the silhouette. Then allowed the glossy accents to dry. I mixed Ice Resin according to manufacturer instructions and poured it into the bezel. The ice resin takes about 6hrs to complete cure. Then I adhered the finished bezel to the center of the bracelet with E6000 adhesive.

 I just love how this turned out and am thinking of making an entire jewelry line to match it! Think how fun a pendant, ring and even earrings would be. I hope you enjoyed this project!

hugs,

Holly 

Day Three with Guest Designer Judy Hayes

 Good morning.  We would like to thank Judy Hayes for being our guest designer this week.  Her projects have been amazing!  You can continue to be inspired by checking out Judy's blog - Creating...My Style.

Here's Judy:

I’m happy to be back for my third day as a guest designer!  I want to say “Thank you!” JustRite for giving me this opportunity!  It’s been fun!

Today, I have a much different project than yesterday!  I go from rustic to elegant with my projects!  I like doing both styles.  This card and gift box fits the elegant and beautiful style!

I started this card with the stamped frame around “Sweet Friend” and the butterfly from JustRite Grand Sentiments.  I really like both of those stamps!  Next I chose Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles to cut the frame.  This stamp set is designed to work with Resplendent Rectangles!   So perfect together!!

When I decided to make a coordinating box, I was so pleased to discover the decorative rectangle stamp fit so well across the box top and flaps.  I love how it looks on the side of each box flap!  Either of the small frame stamps from For All You Do Vintage Labels Three work perfectly on top of the box!  You can’t really see much it under the butterfly.

Here are the directions:

 

Card –

1. Form 4 ½ x 6 ½” cream card.

2. Fasten 4 3/8 x 6 3/8” sage mat to card

3. Cut and fasten 4 ¼ x 6 ¼” brown dot mat to card

4. Cut and emboss Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangle #5 (#1 being the smallest) from cream cardstock. Before removing paper from die template, sponge on Antique Linen ink along inner edge.   Remove from die and fasten to card

5. Cut/emboss sage paper with Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangle #3 and 4 nested together. Before removing die templates, apply Versamark ink to narrow border between dies.  Remove dies.  Apply gold embossing powder and heat.  Fasten to card with craft glue.

6. Cut cream card stock with Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangle #3.  Stamp decorative open rectangle from Grand Sentiments with Versamark ink and heat emboss with gold embossing powder.   Stamp “Sweet Friend” with Versamark and heat emboss with gold.

8. With sponge applicator apply Antique Linen ink to interior of rectangle.  (Use painter’s tape or Post-It notes to mask edge if needed.)

9. Stamp “Have a Great Day” with Espresso ink.

10. Fasten greeting piece inside sage frame on card front.

11.  Add pearls

12. Stamp butterfly on vellum with Versamark ink and heat emboss with gold embossing powder.  Cut with the matching Spellbinders Wonderful Wings die template.   Color back of butterfly with teal marker

13. Fasten butterfly to card with small strip of foam square.  Add pearls

14. Tie loose bow in silk ribbon.  Fasten beneath butterfly with glue dot.

Box-      

1. Cut/emboss box base from brown dot paper with Spellbinders Square Bracket Edge Box.  Fold and fasten together with Scor-Tape.

2. Cut/emboss box top from cream card stock.

3. Stamp Grand Sentiments decorative rectangle across box top and flaps with Versamark ink.  Repeat across opposite flaps.  Heat emboss with gold embossing powder.

4. Apply Antique Linen ink on each flap within embossing lines.  Mask with painter’s tape if needed.

5. Stamp rounded square from For All You Do Vintage Labels Three with Versamark and heat emboss with gold in center of box top.

6. Assemble box top with Scor-Tape

7. Repeat Card Step 12 for butterfly. Fasten to box top with foam tape

Day Two with Guest Designer Judy Hayes

 Good morning.  Welcome back to Day 2 with guest designer Judy Hayes.  Judy has some beautiful notebooks to share with you today.

Here's Judy:

Happy Tuesday!  I’m back for Day 2 as Guest Designer!  

Today, I have a collection of little notebooks to share.  I like gifts like these to keep on hand when I need just a little gift. 

I wanted these to have a somewhat vintage worn look so my coloring isn’t exact! I like that look!  You can easily make them differently to fit your style!

The basic directions are the same for each book, only the paper and coloring are a little different. 

Here are the basic directions:

1. Cut cardstock: composition book – 4 ½ x 6 7/8”, strip - 3/8 x 7”, card tag - 1 7/8 x 3 ¾”

2. Stamp French Rose Background Stamp with Espresso ink over half. Ink again and stamp remaining half. 

3. Color with markers and water pen. Set aside to dry

4. Stamp sayings from Grand Sentiments across strip – I put all 3 sayings on my block and repeated across strip.

5. Apply adhesive with Xyron to back of cover and strip

6. Fasten cover over composition book.  Cut corners round to match book. Trim any excess

7. Fasten sayings strip around book.  Trim ends

8. Form tag.  Stamp frame and verse from For All You Do Vintage Labels Three with Espresso ink.  Add color with markers.   Punch hole in corner

9. Tie tag to book with twine. 

……and the differences:

White cover:  This is the only one that I applied the color directly with the markers – Angel Pink, Pistachio and Cantaloupe.  I used a water pen to spread the color a little.  I also swiped the water pen over the script area.  Since Espresso ink is water based, it bleeds a little with water.    I used a narrow ribbon rather than twine.

Ivory cover:  I used my water pen to apply the color on this cover and tag.  I scribbled the marker on my glass work surface and then applied the color as a watercolor.  Markers are: Rhubarb Stalk, Olive Grove and Cantaloupe.  I swished more color over the script on this one.  I also applied Antique Linen ink over the entire cover once it was completed.  Most of my projects get a touch of Distress ink!!!  I had to hold back on the other covers to keep them simpler!  

Kraft cover:  This is my favorite!  It’s amazing how different the same colors look on Kraft paper versus Ivory.  Markers:  Rhubarb Stalk, Olive Grove, and Cantaloupe.  I applied them with a water pen.  I like how faded they look!

I hope you’ve enjoyed these little notebooks! 

Stop back tomorrow!  I have a “sweet” card and box to share!

-Judy

Day Three with Guest Designer Valerie Stangle

A special thanks to Valerie Stangle for guest designing this week.  Her projects have been amazing!  Be sure to check out Valerie's blog for more inspiration.

Here's Valerie:

Using Anchors Away by JustRite I created a nautical themed accordion book for your favorite dad (grandpa, uncle, brother).

The base of the book is 4” x 12” and scored at 4” and 8.”

Each panel is decorated with a piece of 4” x 4” patterned paper before adding the die cut and stamped images.

For the front of the accordion, I used the map stamp from Anchors Away  and coordinated die from Vintage Label and Banner Dies.  I die cut the label in teal and added accent coloring on the rope portion of the image with a tan colored pencil.  The anchor was stamped on a die cut sand circle with teal ink and distressed with sand ink and adhered to a burgundy die cut circle with dimensional foam.  Embellish with a piece of knotted cording, a tiny paper clip and a dad tag and adhere to map die cut layer. Adhere finished focal image to center of front panel with dimensional foam.

Using the map stamp and coordinated die with an inspirational sentiment from Anchors Away, I created the first inside panel in the same manner as the front panel.  The sentiment is stamped in teal ink onto a sand die cut circle and adhered to a burgundy die cut circle.  Adhere to teal stamped die cut with dimensional foam. A brad accented, stamped helm is adhered to the rope die cut layer with dimensional foam. Adhere finished focal image to left inside panel with dimensional foam.

The center of the accordion book was created using the rope frame and ship image from Anchors Away.  I die cut the largest label from Nested Medallion Labels Dies in teal cardstock and added accent coloring with a tan colored pencil.  The ship is stamped in teal ink onto a sand die cut circle, adhered to a burgundy die cut circle and embellished with a rope knot and clip.  Adhere completed ship to teal medallion die cut with dimensional foam.  Adhere finished focal image to center inside panel with dimensional foam.

The final page of the accordion book was created using the map stamp and coordinate die once more.   Accented with a birthday banner stamp from Anchors Away and coordinated die from Vintage Label and Banner Dies and anchored with love sentiment, it will be sure to bring a smile to your nautical guy’s face!

Day Two with Guest Designer Valerie Stangle

 Welcome back for another day of great projects by guest designer Valerie Stangle.  Valerie enjoys creating masculine cards/projects.  Today she has a great mini album using JustRite Premium Labels and Vintage Label & Banner dies.

Here's Valerie: 

For today’s project I used JustRite Premium Labels to create an album for a premium dad for a birthday, Father’s Day or special event. 

First, to form the album, cut patterned paper to size (4” x 12”, score at 6”) and corner round outside corners. Sand edges with a sanding block. Create a binding edge with sand cardstock (4” x 2-1/2”, score on the shorter side at 1-1/4”). Ink edges with sand ink and add a bit of piercing before adhering to the patterned paper cover. 

Using Vintage Label & Banner Dies, die cut a large Vintage Label in dark grey cardstock and set aside. 

 For the stamped, layered focal point, start with a small die cut Vintage Label in sand cardstock and stamp the “Authentique Friend” label stamp in rhubarb ink.  Add a bit of edge distressing with sand ink.  Adhere to the dark grey die cut label with dimensional foam. 

Because I wanted it to be an album for a special dad, I needed to alter the original sentiment.  I did this by stamping the “Guaranteed, Top Quality, Premium Dad” image with grey ink onto a die cut sand circle, ink edges with sand ink.  Mat on a grey petite scalloped die cut and adhere to the label with dimensional foam.  Adhere completed, stamped label to cover of album with dimensional foam.

For the inside pages, cut sand cardstock to 3-15/16^” x 11”, three total, and score at 5-1/2”. Corner round all corners. Add a 1” decorative strip of patterned paper to each page, front and back.  Attach a few die cut page tabs.  Bind pages into album with Baker’s Twine.  Add your favorite photos or journaling and present to your Premium dad! 

Tune in tomorrow for another fun project using JustRite stamps and dies!

Day One with Guest Designer Valerie Stangle

 Good morning.  Today we are happy to have Valerie Stangle as a special guest designer.  Valerie has created an adorable sweet treat gift box ensemble using a newly released stamp set called Live, Love, Laugh  Vintage Labels Two which also coordinates with the newly released JustRite custom Vintage Labels Two dies.

Here's Valerie: 

Today’s candy box project, using Live, Love, Laugh Vintage Labels Two by JustRite Papercraft, is the perfect tasty gift to give to a family member, friend or co-worker.  I loaded the box up with my favorite fun sized bar: Milky Way.  Finished at 3-1/2” x 5-1/2” it holds 6 wrapped fun sized bars perfectly. 

Using Vintage Label Two Dies, die cut the largest die in pink cardstock and the next smaller size in black cardstock. 

The chalkboard technique is very popular right now. Here are the 4 easy steps to create the chalkboard look I used it to create the focal image. 

1. Stamp the frame and greeting onto black cardstock with white pigment ink.
2. Quickly add white embossing powder, shake off excess and emboss.
3. Using only the greeting, shadow stamp using white pigment ink, no embossing required.
4. To create a more realistic chalkboard look, gently rub pigment ink around the stamped image and on the edges with a sponge or cloth. 

Adding silver brads around the edges of the frame adds a bit of shine.  I used the circles from the frame stamp as placement areas for the brads.

Using a 1/8” circle punch, punch 2 holes on the right side of the chalkboard panel, thread a length of gingham check ribbon through and tie into a bow. 

Adhere finished chalkboard image to pink die cut with dimensional foam. 

Wrap the candy bars in matching paper and decorate with the smallest label from Vintage Labels Two.  I coordinated them by using the same technique as the box top label, using words and flourishes from the set. 

To make the box and lid:

The box is made using heavyweight black cardstock, cut to 5-1/2” x 7-1/2” and scored 1” on all sides.  Cut to where the score lines intersect on opposing sides (2 cuts per side) to make flaps.  Pre-fold all the scores, add adhesive to the flaps, secure flaps to inside and create box form. 

The lid is made from patterned paper, cut to 5-9/16” x 7-9/16” and scored 1” on all sides.  Follow the same instructions to make the flaps.  In addition, notch 2 half circles, midway on the long side, on opposing sides to create finger notches to remove the lid easier.

Pre-fold all scores, add adhesive to the flaps and secure inside to create the lid. 

When finished, adhere the finished label to the box top with dimensional foam.

Live, Love, Laugh Vintage Labels Two is an inspiring set with many wonderful greetings.  I had fun making this box using just a few of them!

Day Three with Guest Designer Robin Parker

A special thank you to Robin Parker for sharing her amazing inspiration this week.  You can check out more of Robin's projects by visiting her blog here. 

Robin has created an amazing coaster gift set today. 
Here's Robin:  

My final project is a coaster set using different stamps sets.  My coasters are 4x4 square white ceramic tiles from my local hardware store. To stamp on a tile surface use Stazon Ink and let you ink dry overnight or heat set your project. Stazon Ink is a solvent based stamp pad, designed for decorating non-porous surfaces such as glass, metal, shrink plastic, cellophane, aluminum foil, leather and acrylic. Stazon ink dries instantly on almost any surface and is waterproof once it dries.

Two of the coasters are created by stamping “Elegant Damask Background”  on to the white tiles with “Staz-On” Royal Purple ink.  The other two coasters were stamped with the roses and filigree design from Amazing Paper Grace Stamps “Vintage Filigree Fancies”.  Let all four tiles dry overnight or use your heat gun.  Lightly mist the stamped coasters with Krylon Workable Fixatif.  Let the tiles dry, then repeat. Once thoroughly dried, add four felt pads to the corners on the back of each tile. For gift giving, stack the tiles and tie a double bow of silk Lavender ribbon by “May Arts” from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.   To create your tag stamp “Hugs & Kisses Sentiments” onto white Bazzill paper.  Cut/emboss with Spellbinder Paper Arts™ Classic and Eyelet Circles to create the outer frame.  

I would like to thank Kellie for giving me another opportunity to be your Guest Designer for JustRite Papercraft.  I have so much fun trying to come up with new projects for this fabulous company.

This week's JustRite Friday Challenge #058 grand prize is sponsored by Spellbinders!  For this week’s challenge, we want to see your inexpensive/frugal gift ideas (anything but a card), using something you have recycled and reused from around your house.  We'd like to see you repurpose a 3D item and turn it into a fabulous gift or gift packaging, using your JustRite stamps!  Some ideas to get you started:

1. Cover a tin can (vegetable or soup) and fill it with sharpened pencils and give to your child's teacher (or teacher friend/relative) so s/he has extras on hand to lend; or give to an administrative assistant for her desk.  

2. Fill a recycled jar with candies or flowers and decorate it to cheer someone's day. 

3. Take that pretty gift box you saved from Valentine's Day or Easter or maybe an egg carton, and recover it or somehow remake it into something new and different -- perhaps a Halloween candy container, Thanksgiving table decoration, or Christmas gift box.

We want to see what you can do with your recycled 3D items, so get creative and show us something besides a card this week, that also showcases JustRite stamps! 

The grand prize for this challenge, sponsored by Spellbinders, is this set of Shapeabilities^® Banner Basics Two and Wonky Rectangles Nestabilities (a $45 retail value!):

THREE honorable mention winners will each receive a Spellbinders OR JustRite Custom Die (manufactured by Spellbinders) set of their choice (currently in stock in JustRite's web store), valued at $24.99 or less!

Here’s my recycled spice jar, jazzed up and made pretty for gift giving to a friend who loves gourmet French cooking (front and back of jar):

I kept seeing a gourmet South of France blend of spices mentioned in some recipes called Herbes de Provence, but could never find the blend in my local grocery store.  Online shopping turned up some results, but most were quite expensive.  Since I already had most of the individual spices in the blend, I Googled how to create my own and found MANY mixture recipes!  I created my own blend and transferred the spices to this nice, large 3oz. recycled spice jar (Target's Archer Farms brand, in case you are wondering!) -- I like its simple square shape, perfect for altering!

And what more perfect stamp set is there for a French blend of spices than JustRite's new cling stamp sets,Bon Voyage and Greetings From Paris!

For the front label, I used the label stamp from Bon Voyage that coordinates with Spellbinders Labels Six Nestabilities die, stamped it with Memento Sweet Plum ink and then colored the label with Copic G21 & V12. I used JustRite's Original Times New Roman 15-pt font to spell out the herb blend name, stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink. Next, I airbrushed Copic Y21 in the center of the label. Finally, I stamped, colored, and cut out the separate "100% Royal Quality" stamp from this set and adhered it to the lower portion of the label.

 

 

The back label (from the Greetings From Paris cling stamps set, which coordinates with Spellbinders Labels Four Nestabilities dies) was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and then Copic airbrushed with G21, V15 and Y21.

 

Twine was wrapped around the bottle and the sides each decorated.  

(Left photo below): The Eiffel Tower from Bon Voyage was stamped and cut out, then adhered underneath the twine.

(Right photo above): Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Accent die cut was colored with Copic markers and adhered to the bottle.

 

The lid was also wrapped with twine and then I stamped a collage of stamps mainly from Greetings from Paris and then die cut it with Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Circle Nestabilities.

For more information about my special gourmet blend of spices, please visit my personal blog.

Here's what you'll find new:

4 new Trio collections: Hydrangea Trio, Raspberry Trio, Moss Trio, Tahiti Trio

2 new Quad collections: Ivory Quad and Neutral Gray Quad

2 new singles (RV17 and E23) added to 2 Trios, making them Quads: Latte Quad and Red Violet Quad

You can find the new color chart (previewed above) to download from our webstore HERE, and you can find the new collections available HERE and singles HERE.  So don't fret if you already had our Latte or Red Violet Trios,  you are still able to add just the new single marker you may be missing, to complete your new Quad -- Enjoy!

Now on to today's JustRite Friday Challenge #055, which is to use this color combination along with JustRite stamps for your project:

A neutral of brown or black may also be used.

Copic color references: B01-Mint Blue, E41-Pearl White (although it appears pinkish in the photo above!), E43-Dull Ivory.
Memento color references: Summer Sky or Bahama Blue, Desert Sand.

Copic and Memento colors are given as reference only and are not required for this challenge (but certainly welcome!).  Please feel free to use any products you wish that closely match the suggested colors.

The grand prize for this challenge will be Marianne Walker's new Shadows & Shading: A Beginner's Guide ($14.95 retail value) and TEN (10) Copic Sketch marker colors of your choice ($57.50 retail value), for a total combined retail value of $72.45!

THREE honorable mention winners will receive Marianne Walker's new Shadows & Shading: A Beginner's Guide ($14.95 retail value) and our new Butterfly Garden set!

 

For my challenge sample, I used Butterfly Garden and Copic colors from our new Tahiti Trio and Ivory Quad:

  

I made a 'Countdown to Summer' or until 'School is Out' (or until Father's Day!) calendar for my kids:

I stamped the sentiment center from Butterfly Garden with Memento Rich Cocoa ink onto ivory cardstock, die cut it, and then airbrushed the center with Copic B01-Mint Blue while the cardstock was still in the die.

The outer rim of the scalloped border stamp was colored with Copic E43-Dull Ivory, which perfectly matched the kraft cardstock I used!  The border was then glittered with Star Dust Stickles. 

The pearls accenting the punched butterflies were colored with Copic B04 marker.  I used Memento Desert Sand ink and a Jumbo Dauber to sponge the edges of my die cut image, as well as on the blue cardstock die cuts, to age them a bit.

For the flat marble pebble magnet marking the last day of school, I stamped one of the butterfly centers from Butterfly Garden, colored it and cut it out.  Then I adhered it to some printed word paper and glued it to the bottom of the pebble.  Magnets were attached to the back of the calendar and back of the pebble, so they can be used on the refrigerator and the pebble moved to count down the days until school is out!

The 8-1/2" x 11" calendar I computer generated myself, printed onto ivory cardstock, and is available as a free download HERE.

I also found these samples in our By The Sea Gallery that fit this challenge, to give you a little more inspiration.  Remember, we keep updated galleries on each of our stamp sets in our Design Gallery, so you can always visit there and find instant inspiration!  Or if you don't remember where you saw a specific example, try checking the gallery!

Day 2 With Guest Designer Jeanne Streiff!

Guest designer, Jeanne Streiff, is back with us today -- we know you’ll love the sweet treats she has in store for you!

Notes from Jeanne:

“I have a sweet gift set to show you today featuring the JB-09885 From my Kitchen from JustRite today!”

“A small Mason jar with M& Ms (or any candy) is one of my favorite quick and easy gifts to make.”

“I cut a patterned paper (Echo Park) for my jar and and then tied the pretty green ribbon and Baker's twine. I stamped the phrase (From my Kitchen) with Memento Danube Blue ink. I cut the phrase with a Spellbinders™ Circle Nestabilities die, sponged the edge with Memento Rich Cocoa ink and attached it to a tag made with JB-08960 JustRite Custom Charm Dies. I attached the tag with Baker's twine.”

“My 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" card was made with matching patterned paper (Echo Park) and ribbon. I stamped a frame from CL-02095 Kindness with Memento Bahama Blue ink and the sentiment (From my Kitchen) in Memento Danube Blue. The frame was die cut with Labels Twenty and then the edges were sponged with Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I added a button with a little twine bow to finish off my card.”

What a great gift set, Jeanne -- so bold and bright, sure to cheer anyone's day!  We hope you'll join us tomorrow for Jeanne's last day guest designing for us!
